Better than 93% of Kansas elementary schools

Summary

Belinder Elementary in Prairie Village, Kansas, serves pre-K through grade 6 and enrolls 489 students in the Shawnee Mission Public School district. Its overall results are well above state averages, but science is the clearest concern: 49% of students are proficient, about 23 points below the nearby-school average, and Belinder ranks second-lowest among the 11 schools; its science result is also less than a point above the district.

Belinder’s ELA and math results are strong against state and district benchmarks, though they put the school around the middle of this nearby group. ELA proficiency is 76%—30 points above the state and 16 above the district—and ranks sixth of 11 schools. Math is 72%, 31 points above the state and 15 above the district, ranking eighth. Both results are just above nearby-school averages: by 2 points in ELA and 1 point in math. Grade-level results vary: sixth-grade math reaches 83%, while fifth-grade ELA is a softer spot at 66%, below the district’s 67% and the nearby average of 81%.

Over four reported years, ELA rose 5 points and math rose 3, while science fell 17 points. SchoolDigger ranks Belinder 47th of 657 Kansas schools, in the 93rd percentile with 5 stars; its percentile has eased from 98 in 2020–21. The student-teacher ratio is 16.5, compared with a nearby average of 14.8, while the 2024–25 free/reduced-lunch rate was 7%, versus a nearby average of 22%; these are context, not explanations for results. A historical SchoolDigger measure of effectiveness for students with low socioeconomic status ranked Belinder at the 75th percentile in 2018–19, notably below its overall 98th-percentile ranking that year; this is not a current subgroup result.
